“Trent Alexander has a dead leg and there was for sure contact there”

Jurgen Klopp

“Sadio did not play but he will be fine for Wednesday,” said Klopp immediately after the goalless draw with the Potters at Anfield.

“Let me say it like this, Trent Alexander has a dead leg and there was for sure contact there. He was limping from that moment on. 

“He got a dead leg around the hip; he was limping but always gave a thumbs-up to carry on. 

“I thought the best thing with a dead leg was to keep on going so at one point it will be better. 

“But then I spoke again to the medical department and they told me it was better to take him off, so we did.
